An arrest was made over the weekend in connection to an attempted arson at a Madisonville business in August.

In a collaborating effort, Madisonville Police report Jarvis L. Walker-Currin was located around 2:00 p.m. Saturday by the Milwaukee Police Department after a warrant was issued on August 30th.
